My first tiramisu recipe and I am so excited to share it! I’ve loved tiramisu for the longest time. If you’re not familiar, it’s a classic Italian dessert consisting of coffee-dipped ladyfinger cookies layered with egg-based whipped mascarpone cream. The cookies are usually topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. Tiramisu is creamy, luscious, and perfect. Especially classic varieties that use raw egg yolks and bold espresso. I love the original so much that I didn’t want to mess with a good thing and share a non-traditional variation. That is until I had this fun summery idea. So I made an exception. This strawberry tiramisu really is just as luscious and perfect as it looks. You will love it! When it comes to summertime recipes, I’m always so inspired by the in-season produce around me, especially the berries. I have a lot of fun cooking and baking with them! Once I had this idea I just knew I had to run with it. The ginger syrup really is the secret. It’s such a wonderful pairing with the sweet strawberries and tart cream.
The details
Step 1: make the ginger syrup This is simply water mixed with honey and sliced pieces of fresh ginger. Simmer this mix on the stove to heat the ginger. Then I love to add a few chamomile tea bags for a light floral flavor. It’s really so nice with the honey and ginger. Step 2: mix the mascarpone cream This is the heart of a good tiramisu. You’ll need egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, cream, honey, and just a pinch of ginger. I like to add vanilla and then one super special ingredient, Aperol. The Aperol is so wonderful when paired with the strawberries, it really completes the Italian vibe. Mix everything together in a bowl until smooth, just be sure to not over-mix. Step 3: dip and layer Take the lady fingers and very quickly dip them into the ginger syrup and arrange them in your baking dish. I use a square 9×9 dish. Now layer on the cream, and then the strawberry jam and fresh strawberries. Add another layer of ladyfingers and finish with cream. Chill until ready to serve, overnight is ideal, but an hour or two also works well! I love to top my tiramisu with a swirl more of strawberry jam, fresh berries, and then some freeze-dried raspberries crushed on top. Slice or scoop and enjoy every last creamy, berry-filled bite. The perfect balance of sweet and creamy that leaves you longing for another bite. Plus, we love that this is no-bake and easy to make! Looking for other Summer dessert recipes?
